The City

Walking through the city, the rain was pouring down,On the lost and lonely, those without a home.The falling raindrops glistened on the passers by,Does anybody notice, does anybody cry?

Walking through the City,Full of pain and fear,The rain falls down relentlessAnd mingles with their tears.

Walking in the city, shoes worn to her feet,She doesn’t want to live this wayBut she’s got to make ends meet.Living in the danger zone,She’s got to earn more cash,Her habit’s so expensive and it’s gone in a flash.

Walking through the City,Full of pain and fear,The rain falls down relentlessAnd mingles with her tears.

Walking through the city, towards the smoky haze,Underneath the viaduct to the cardboard maze.Living from a bottle, begging for a crust,Ashes turn to ashes, dust turns to dust.

Walking through the City,God is moving there,The rain falls down relentlessAnd mingles with His tears.
